New Favorite President?


Those who have been faithful to my blog know my partiality to that great non-violent, humanitarian president, Jimmy Carter. I even went out on a limb and declared him my favorite president. But recent events are forcing me to reconsider.

As I sniffed around the kitchen this past weekend, I stumbled across this photo of former president GHW Bush, with his sweet, white-haired mother. But lo and behold what the former veep/pres is holding. A cute little doggie. Does the doggie remind you of anyone? Huh? It looks like me (without the underbite). I think it's a cockapoo, maybe even one of my brothers or sisters from up there at the Autumn View Farm. I'm not positive and will send the photo off the the AFCA (American Federation of Canine Authentication). But if it comes back positive, it will give me a whole new perspective. Bush will have proven he is willing to embrace diversity in a way no previous president has. No more sickening porty dogs handed-down from stuck-up Kennedys. You'll see. Cockapoos and unabashed breed diversity will really come into their own.

WOW, the dog really does look like you. I wonder if this cockapoo knows how to fetch?

Tommy said...

Gosh, cockapoos aren't so good at fetching. But we're probably better at it than the haughty looking dog GHW Bush's mother is holding.

big brother said...

Tommy, what does haughty mean?

Tommy said...

Big brother ... hmm, good question. i guess you know haughty when you see it. Like at the dog park, those stuck-up pure breds who think they're better than me. Or how about that dog-hating human president we now got?

its not fair that those bushes have a cockapoo and i don't. daddy said he was going to get a cockapoo and then he didn't. though i know i shouldn't speak ill of the dearly departed, i hate uncle teddie for making us take that dumb old porty. and now the bushes get the cockapoo i wanted.
